The difference between diagnosis and health assessment

In teaching, health assessment and diagnostics can be distinguished from three aspects. The difference between health assessment and diagnostic teaching materials mainly comes from the psychological, social and functional health form assessment added on the basis of consultation and various auxiliary examinations, as well as the nursing diagnosis content unique to nursing in health assessment. The core of nursing procedure is nursing diagnosis, which provides a solid theoretical basis for nurses to choose nursing measures reasonably within the scope of their duties and emphasizes the independence of nursing specialty.

Secondly, the difference of thinking mode. The health assessment discipline itself is mainly based on the needs of nursing diagnosis and serves the concept of holistic nursing. Therefore, in the teaching process, we should ensure the application of what we have learned, that is, do a good job in practical teaching, fully combine consultation and auxiliary examination, and pay full attention to the cultivation of students' nursing logical thinking in the teaching process, so as to achieve the purpose of enlightenment, fully tap students' potential, improve their professional identity, and gradually form a good thinking mode of nursing diagnosis, laying a good foundation for the study of clinical nursing discipline. Diagnostics focuses on medical diagnosis, so the logical goal of inquiry and auxiliary examination is to diagnose diseases, and the main line of teaching is to help students collect data and infer medical diagnosis.

Third, the teaching emphasis is different. On the one hand, the teaching focus of diagnostics is to teach students to learn basic skills such as inquiry and auxiliary examination, on the other hand, to teach students to master symptoms, signs and the results of auxiliary examination, and to understand its significance by clarifying clinical mechanism, with clear teaching focus. At present, there is no clear conclusion about the teaching content of health assessment. The purpose of evaluation is essentially to determine the nursing diagnosis, so that nurses can reasonably choose appropriate nursing measures within the scope of their duties. Therefore, in the teaching process, we should take nursing diagnosis as the core, strictly follow the concept of holistic nursing, formulate programmed teaching content within the scope of curriculum standards and according to the actual post needs. In health assessment, nursing diagnosis should be introduced in detail, and the whole assessment teaching should always run through the thinking mode of nursing diagnosis. Medical teaching is practical, so we should attach importance to case teaching, guide students appropriately through actual cases, and let students analyze the diagnosis basis, so as to lay a solid foundation for clinical nursing study.
